SUMMARY

The present utility model can raise the solar panel to a suitable height by controlling the scissor lifting mechanism, and then extend the cylinders to exert a pushing force on the U-shaped block, so that the mounting plate can rotate under the cooperation of the hinge and maintain a certain tilt angle. Then, the motor is started to drive the circular shaft to rotate, thereby driving the mounting bracket to rotate and orient the solar panel towards the direction of sunlight and change with the angle of sunlight. This can ensure that the solar panel receives direct sunlight for a long time and improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion into electricity.

When the spherical camera detects a large amount of dust on the surface of the solar panel, the cylinders can be retracted by starting them, exerting a downward pulling force on the U-shaped block, causing the mounting plate to rotate downward under the cooperation of the hinge, reducing the angle between the mounting bracket and the mounting plate, and exerting a pushing force on the round rod by the connecting rod, which can drive the sliding block to slide to one side inside the U-shaped frame, synchronously moving the brush plate to one side and sweeping the dust on the surface of the solar panel. By connecting one end of the connecting pipe to the air pump outlet, gas can be delivered to the connecting pipe through the air pump and then sprayed out through the air nozzles after passing through the annular pipe, dispersing the dust swept by the brush plate. This repetitive process can clean the dust on the surface of the solar panel and ensure its normal use.

Then, the folding mechanism is controlled to lower the height of the solar panels and insert the positioning rod into the positioning ring to provide a certain level of fixation. Simultaneously, the rollers make contact with the L-shaped limit plate and apply downward pressure, causing the L-shaped limit plate to rotate the lever, twisting the torsion spring. This rotation causes the long edge of the L-shaped limit plate to rotate downward and fit snugly against the surface of the solar panels, limiting their movement. This reduces the wind resistance on the solar panels and prevents them from becoming loose or falling off, thereby improving their lifespan.

Specific Implementation:

In order to better understand the purpose, features, and advantages of this utility model, the following description is provided in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless conflicting, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

In the following description, many specific details are provided to fully understand this utility model. However, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways not described here. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in this specification.

Embodiment 1, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, this utility model provides an outdoor rotatable solar system, including: a base plate 1, and further includes:

A folding mechanism 104, fixedly installed at the top of the base plate 1, with a top plate 105 fixedly installed at the top of the folding mechanism 104;

A circular shaft 201, movably embedded in the center of the top plate 105, with a motor 202 fixedly installed at the bottom center of the top plate 105. The output end of the motor 202 is fixedly installed at one end of the circular shaft 201, and the other end of the circular shaft 201 is fixedly installed with an installation frame 2. The top of the installation frame 2 is hinged to an installation plate 203. The top of the installation plate 203 is fixedly installed with a solar panel 206;

Two 19-shaped blocks 1 204, symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation plate 203, with a cylinder 205 movably embedded on the opposite sides of the two arms of the installation plate 203, with one end of the two cylinders 205 symmetrically movably embedded on the opposite side of the inner wall of the installation frame 2.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, two support rods 3 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the installation frame 2, with connecting rods 301 movably sleeved on one side of the two support rods 3. The top of the installation plate 203 is fixedly installed with a U-shaped frame 302, and the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 302 is slidably connected to a slider 305. The opposite side of the slider 305 is fixedly installed with circular rods 306. One end of the two circular rods 306 is movably embedded in one end of the two connecting rods 301, and the bottom of the slider 305 is fixedly installed with brush plates 307 By applying a thrust.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, the top of the installation board 203 is fixed with a circular pipe 401. Multiple air nozzles 402 are symmetrically embedded on the outer surface of the circular pipe 401. The outer surface of the circular pipe 401 is also fixed with a connecting pipe 4, which connects the connecting pipe 4, the circular pipe 401, and the multiple air nozzles 402. By connecting one end of the connecting pipe 4 to the air outlet of the air pump, gas is delivered to the connecting pipe 4 and then passes through the circular pipe 401 before being sprayed out through the air nozzles 402, dispersing the dust swept by the brush plate 307.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, two L-shaped brackets 5 are symmetrically fixed on the opposite side of the bottom plate 1. Multiple rotating rods 501 are movably embedded on the side opposite to the two arms of the top of each L-shaped bracket 5. L-shaped limit plates 502 are fixedly fitted on the outer surface of each rotating rod 501. Twisting springs 503 are movably fitted on the outer surface of each rotating rod 501 near the two ends. One end of each twisting spring 503 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of each L-shaped bracket 5 near the top, while the other end of each twisting spring 503 is fixedly installed on both ends of each rotating rod 501. Two U-shaped blocks 6 are symmetrically fixed on the opposite side of the top plate 105. Each arm of the two U-shaped blocks 6 is movably embedded with a roller 601. By making the roller 601 contact the L-shaped limit plate 502 and applying downward pressure on the L-shaped limit plate 502, the L-shaped limit plate 502 can drive the rotating rod 501 to rotate, causing the twisting spring 503 to twist. This allows the long side of the L-shaped limit plate 502 to rotate downward and fit perfectly on the surface of the solar panel 206, providing positioning for the top of the solar panel 206.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, positioning rings 106 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the top plate 105, and positioning rods 107 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the bottom plate 1. By inserting the positioning rods 107 into the positioning rings 106, a certain degree of fixation is achieved.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, two brackets 102 are symmetrically fixed on the opposite side of the bottom plate 1. The top end of each bracket 102 is movably embedded with an insertion rod 103. Universal self-locking wheels 101 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the bottom plate 1. By inserting the insertion rods 103 into the soil, a certain degree of fixation is achieved.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, a support plate 303 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped bracket 302, and a spherical camera 304 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 303. The spherical camera 304 is used to monitor surrounding fires, wind forces, snow disasters, heavy rains, and theft.

Operation Principle: When in use, this device is moved to the designated outdoor location by using the universal self-locking wheels 101. The wheels are then locked, and the insertion rods 103 are inserted into the soil to secure the device. The scissor lifting mechanism 104 is then controlled to lift the solar panel 206 to the appropriate height. The cylinder 205 is activated to extend and apply thrust to the U-shaped block 204, causing the installation board 203 to rotate with the hinge, maintaining a certain tilt angle. The motor 202 is then started, driving the circular shaft 201, which in turn rotates the mounting bracket 2. This allows the solar panel 206 to face the direction of sunlight and adjust its angle according to the changing sunlight angle, ensuring it receives direct sunlight for an extended period of time, thereby increasing the efficiency of solar energy conversion. When the spherical camera 304 detects a significant amount of dust on the surface of the solar panel 206, the cylinder 205 is activated to retract, applying downward tension to the U-shaped block 204. This causes the installation board 203 to rotate downward with the hinge, reducing the angle between the installation bracket 2 and the installation board 203. This applies thrust to the connecting rod 301, causing the slider 305 to slide inside the U-shaped bracket 302 and simultaneously moving the brush plate 307 to sweep the dust off the surface of the solar panel 206. By connecting one end of the connecting pipe 4 to the air outlet of the air pump, gas is delivered to the connecting pipe 4, passes through the circular pipe 401, and is then sprayed out through the air nozzles 402, dispersing the dust swept by the brush plate 307. This process is repeated to clean the surface of the solar panel 206 and ensure its normal use. In the case of strong winds, the installation board 203 is first retracted towards the installation bracket 2 by contracting the cylinder 205, keeping it and the solar panel 206 in a horizontal position. The scissor lifting mechanism 104 is then controlled to lower the height of the solar panel 206. The positioning rods 107 are inserted into the positioning rings 106 for additional fixation. The roller 601 is brought into contact with the L-shaped limit plate 502 and applies downward pressure, causing the L-shaped limit plate 502 to rotate the rotating rod 501. This twists the torsion spring 503, causing the long side of the L-shaped limit plate 502 to rotate downward and perfectly fit on the surface of the solar panel 206, providing positioning and preventing strong winds from blowing the solar panel 206. This reduces wind resistance and prevents loosening or falling of the solar panel 206, thereby extending its lifespan.
